Sing it with soul
This relatively low-maintenance mini beard first gained popularity with beatniks and artists in the 1950’s. It’s said that jazz trumpeters started the trend as they enjoyed the cushioning this beard offered during mammoth jam sessions.
Today, the soul patch serves no real purpose. Anyone can grow one and they suit all face types. At some point in your life a soul patch will just feel right…and then it won’t. Think of a Soul Patch as training wheels for a real beard, a necessary step (or stumble?) on the road to manhood.
